Two members of the Dons lineup played in this tournament last year when USF finished in the top-10 after climbing five spots on the leaderboard on the final day.
"We are looking forward to starting our competitive spring season at San Louis Obispo CC at the Bruin-Wave which is hosted by UCLA and Pepperdine," said head coach Sara Doell. "The field is very strong with five top-25 teams in the field including 25th ranked Pepperdine from the WCC."

"The team has been working hard to be the best version of our team by each working both individually and together to strengthen our weaknesses in the gym and on the golf course. I am excited about the progress I am seeing and the passion for the game this team has."
